[UPDATE] Velvet Launcher v0.1.25

[UPDATE] Velvet Launcher v0.1.25

Hey,

Just to let you know that I implemented a screen guard while the car is moving. You can disable it in settings if you have a passenger display. Please be responsible while using the app, as browsing and driving don't go together.

I also implemented Microphone support speech recognition.

Install with AAENABLER or Kinginstaller (especially for Pixel phones):

https://github.com/malebuffy/VelvetLauncher

Also note, this app doesn't come with any 3rd party software installed. It does download everything needed from their official repositories, so initial setup takes some time.

Enjoy

GameNative on the car screen (Android Auto fork)

I forked GameNative so the same app can show up in Android Auto.

Why? I don't know...I just did it. 😀

Library, installs, and the games, on the head unit. It is not an official release. It's not a mirroring app, phone screen can be off (must be on for use of wireless controller).

Credit stays with Utkarsh Dalal, and the license is still GPL-3.0.

There is also a phone-side trick for using a Bluetooth controller with the games while Android Auto is connected. Details are in the repo if you want them.

https://github.com/malebuffy/GameNative-AndroidAuto

Needs to be installed with AAenabler https://github.com/malebuffy/AAEnabler

Also Android Auto Developer Settings have to be enabled and Unknown sources ticked

Be aware...This obviously not going to perform as good as a raw phone, but lighter games will work! I haven't tested heavier games tbh.

Take it as a proof of concept!

If you try it, tell me how it goes.

[UPDATE] Xtream Player v1.6.11

Hey,

Got some small improvement that just makes sense. I added memory buttons to the radio....duh! Should be there from start but hey, it is what it is.

https://github.com/malebuffy/XtreamPlayer/releases/

https://github.com/malebuffy/XtreamPlayerFree/releases/

Install with AAEnabler or Kinginstaller v1.8 (especially for China phones)

If it doesn't show up on your Android Auto either eith AAENABLER or Kinginstaller, use https://fermataxtream.online

Enjoy

[UPDATE] Xtream Player v1.4.0 new icons and Games addon

Hey,

Long time no see. As I was waiting in the car for my wife to finish shoping, I realised it would be nice to have some simple games on the dashboard to play. So I added a new addon for Premium that I will expand in the next month's. For now it has some very simple but popular games like chess, connect 4, etc.Also changed the Icons of the app to make them more modern. So update includes:

Free 1.4.0

https://github.com/malebuffy/XtreamPlayerFree/releases

-Updated in-app icons.

-YT Music trial popup auto-dismisses.

-YT Music keeps playing the next song in the background.

-Side-panel skip no longer blacks out the screen.

Premium 1.4.0 (for donors to AAEnabler)

https://github.com/malebuffy/XtreamPlayer/releases

-Updated in-app icons.

-YT Music trial popup auto-dismisses.

-YT Music keeps playing the next song in the background.

-Side-panel skip no longer blacks out the screen.

-FS Play YouTube no longer stutters.

-FS Play seek / rewind / FF work.

-Games addon (please only use when car is parked)

Install with AAEnabler

https://github.com/malebuffy/AAEnabler/releases

Also updated AAenabler:

-Bug fixes

-It now tries different istallation methods automatically. Install Shizuku button so you don't have to go looking. I recommend you run Shizuku if installing Android Auto compatible APK doesn't work, especially on OPPO/RealMe/OnePlus devices and Huawei as well.

Only if Xtream Player doesn't show up on Android Auto, get a Installation link from https://fermataxtream.online

Important: Aytomatic updates only work when installed with AAenabler. If installed via fermataxtream.online, you need to request a new link.

[UPDATE] Fermata Xtream continues with Xtream Player v1.0.0

Hey,

Time for change. In the past months, I was slowly but steadily rewriting the code of Fermata Xtream in order to improve performance. I soon realised that this wasn't possible if I remained with the existing code. So what I did was rewrite the whole codebase to optimise for speed and performance.

I can now say that the code is 100% different from what it was in the beginning, keeping the UI kind of what it was (although that did also change through time).

What that means for you is the following:

Fermata Xtream Free will continue to be free and code that was based on Fermata Auto is public.

So what's the fuss? I am announcing Xtream Player Free and Premium v1.0.0. Backend is entirely rewritten from scratch, keeping the UI as it is for consistency.

Do not worry, package name is the same, so transition will be as easy as installing an update. License is also valid for donors of previous versions.

The good news: When installed with AAenabler ONLY, apps will auto-update when a new release is pushed to GitHub.

The bad news: Auto-update doesn't work when installed through the playstore link. So either disable it from the settings, or leave it enabled but don't proceed with installation, just to know when to receive a new link.

For that I had to separate the github repos.

Free version:

https://github.com/malebuffy/XtreamPlayerFree/releases

Premium version:

https://github.com/malebuffy/XtreamPlayer/releases

Premium version needs a donation to AAEnabler:

https://github.com/malebuffy/AAEnabler/releases

https://fermataxtream.online is also updated with the new builds

I will keep the name https://fermataxtream.online as is and the old github with the old releases as well, for consistency (some guides and yt videos etc)

From now on updates will only happen to the new apps, as a lot of bugs were fixed with the new code, and probably some more introduced? 😂

[UPDATE] Fermata Xtream Premium with Nuvio client

Hello again,

Updated Fermata Xtream Premium 2.4.23 with Nuvio client support. Nuvio is basically the same as Stremio, but with a couple of extra features.

Main ones are:

- It supports download instead of only play.

- It supports Cloudstream plug inside

Free version is also updated with some minor bug fixes.

There is a lot on the bugs/wants list, so next couple of updates will be focused on these rather new features.

https://github.com/malebuffy/Fermata-Xtream/releases

As always, use AAENABLER to install.

Premium version needs a donation to AAENABLER

https://github.com/malebuffy/AAEnabler/releases

[UPDATE] Fermata Xtream Free is on Playstore Beta test

Hello all,

I am going to start with getting something off my chest. For the last weeks I was actively working in the background to get Fermata Xtream Free on the beta test links. That day has come. I was blamed to block it intentionally so that I could gain from donations on the premium version, I was blamed that I made a mess and made it confusing etc. Everything was done for a reason and my privacy.

Nevertheless the day has come where Fermata Xtream Free is also available in the playstore link from https://fermataxtream.online

Again, AAENABLER remains the no1. means of installing Fermata Xtream, as it's the quickest way of getting updates. However if AAENABLER doesn't work for you, Free users now have the ability to install the Free version as well.

License for the Premium version remains through donations to AAENABLER

Enjoy

P.S. 1 I will stop answering to comments not in English. Translation doesn't always work in Reddit and I am.not going to c/p just to see what you are asking.

P.S. 2 I will not answer on how features like YT, Stremio,Plex etc work.

[UPDATE] Fermata Xtream Premium with Stremio client

Hi,

New version of Fermata Xtream Premium v2.4.x is online on the GitHub

https://github.com/malebuffy/Fermata-Xtream/releases

There is also the free version, that doesn't include the Stremio client but has a few bug fixes.

In order for Premium to work you need to be a donor. Donations are accepted through AAENABLER, which is also the app you should install Fermata Xtream with.

https://github.com/malebuffy/AAEnabler

If AAEnabler doesn't work for your phone, you can use fermataxtream.online ONLY for the premium version. So if you are not a doner, dont bother.

Enjoy

P.S. Stilll working on getting the free version on the Playstore link platform....tbc

[UPDATE] Fermata Xtream 2.3.1 with simplified mirror and Plex client (experimental)

Hello all,

Updated the github https://github.com/malebuffy/Fermata-Xtream/releases with release 2.3.1 as I am going for vacation and needed to have a clean as possible version ready. What has been done:

- Fixed Main menu item reordering.

- Main menu color change from Settings-Interface

- Simplified mirroring. Only kept FS Fermata Mirror as the other one was basically the same. Now for mirror, permissions are asked one by one so you don't have to guess what is needed.

- Added a Plex client (very experimental)

- A LOT of bug fixes.

So it is a quite stable version, but bugs are bugs. So if there any, I can't do anything now 😀

Free version has all the fixes minus the extra stuff. 😀

Install with AAEnabler

https://github.com/malebuffy/AAEnabler/releases

For those where AAenabler doesn't work use fermataxtream.online. Version will be online tomorrow (not today).

Fermata Xtream Premium license needs a donation to AAENABLER to work, regardless if installed through AAENABLER or Playstore link.

Enjoy

P.S. I will be away, so would appreciate if the community answers any questions...even the stupid ones. 😀

[UPDATE] Fermata Xtream is live again (only when AAEnabler doesn't work)

Hello all, PLEASE READ this time :)

Fermata Xtream Premium beta test is now available again, with a few changes:

- Free version will always be free. Even updated to new UI but available only though AAEnabler and the GitHub APK due to technical reasons. My commitment stands and everyone gets a free version of the app.

AAEnabler: https://github.com/malebuffy/AAEnabler/releases/download/v1.0.1/AAEnabler-release.apk

Fermata Xtream Free: https://github.com/malebuffy/Fermata-Xtream/releases/

- AAEnabler should be the priority goto installing Fermata Xtream. There are many reasons why, imediate updates is the most prominent. If for any reason AAEnabler doesn't work for you, fermataxtream.online is online again, with a few changes:

- Email is now imediate, no need to wait. That said, it is very limited numbers so make sure you don't be a #°@°# and although AAEnabler is working for you, you still request a link.

-You need to enable Google Play developer options(Pessing About/Playstore version 7 times) and enable Internal App sharing

-AAEnabler license unlocks Fermata Xtream Premium

Also I am working on a better way still for everyone. So dont be greedy. If I see it is abused and doesn't work, I will pull the website offline again.
